Second in command of Shanks' ship. The smartest (by far) of all ONE PIECE characters introduced in the first
~8 volumes according to Oda-sensei, Ben proves to be a good shoulder for Shanks to lean on. (The intelligence and cool
looks must be why a lot of the yaoi loving girls in Japan have stories about BxSh...)

The thug that entered the Party's Bar in the first episode. He boasts of killing 56 people, and his head was worth 8 million
bellies. However, not even he could survive being eaten alive by the Master of the Near Seas (and thus he is the character
with the shortest air-time in a way...)

Party's Bar was the place where Shanks and company were mainly seen while they took root
in Fusha Village for approximately a year. Luffy has a huge tab at her place, which he
swears he will pay off when he hits it big on the treasure front.

A rather... rotund... female pirate. A fiend of beauty, she clubs (sometimes to death) people who think she
is ugly and/or who do not do a decent job of cleaning her fleet's flagship. Luffy commented to her face that
she looked like an old butch ("ikatsui obasan".... honest boy!). Named after Alvilda, a pirate that really
existed (and shown here is only one of many spellings found in pirate books).

A little boy who was acting as servant and navigator for Alvida on her ship. A rather cowardly fellow at
first, he learned what it meant to show some guts to do what he wanted when he met Luffy and Zoro. His dream
is to be a high-ranking officer at Marine Headquarters. He is currently working his way up the corporate
ladder in the 153rd district.

Son of Morgan who basically uses his dad's powers to do whatever the hell he pleases. He ultimately gets a painful
lesson from Luffy and Zoro, and joins the Marine Headquarters with Coby after his dad gets captured at the end of
the arc.

A Marine captain. He has the mistaken notion that power is everything in this world, and rules over powerless
people with brute force. He values titles and people obeying him, and his dream is to be the most powerful man
in the world. However, he falls in front of the budding Straw Pirate Fleet, and is captured -- and that's when
his real adventure begins....
He is named after Henry Morgan, a pirate that really existed back in the days...

The little girl that made sugary rice-balls for Zoro. She was also the reason that Zoro got captured by Morgan in the first
place, as our green-headed swordsman got arrested only for cutting Helmeppo's wolf to save her.
(Outside of the ONE PIECE context, rika is the site caretaker of this website that you are looking at now, who uses self-drawn
fanart of this girl as a self-portrait though she is already 25.)

The daughter of Zoro's swordsmanship teacher. Despite being female, she was the one person Zoro could never defeat in childhood.
She passed away after falling down the stairs in the wrong way soon after promising him that the two of them would race to see
which would become the strongest swordsman first; this makes Zoro decide that he will uphold their vow and become the strongest
swordsman in the world.
